Aiming to usurp Arm processors in size-constrained, compute hungry designs like wearables, SiFive has expanded its RISC-V “Performance” line of processors.
The momentum for RISC-V continues to grow, as a variety of technologies and products have emerged this year leveraging RISC-V technology. Feeding that trend, today SiFive announced the addition of two processors—the P670 and P470—to its Performance line of RISC-V IP-based processors.
In this article, we examine the details of the new processors, we compare them to their Arm counterparts, and we share insights from our interview with Drew Barbier, Senior Director of Product Management at SiFive.
